Fair Salary (Base + Bonus) for 3 years Development Experience

I have my 3 year review coming up and am expecting to get a raise. Work at a family office. I'm currently underpaid ($85k base + 5% bonus) in a HCOL city. My question is what is my worth range in today's market?

Have looked at other comp threads and haven't found an exact comparable- have just seen others with less experience making more than me. 

I'm more on the financial side- so on our acquisitions team, work with our asset management team, perform various one off financial analyses, responsible for following market trends and tracking local development pipeline. 

It is a good gig- work closely with C Suite executives who care about my growth, rarely work over 45 hours/week. But want to know what a fair salary is for 3 years work experience for my role with no masters degree. 

 

Is your question what is your market comp range worth with the shop your currently at or if you were to move to another firm? 

I'll take a stab if you're referring to the family office you're at, but I have little to know information about your shop. I would say you should be in the 85-100k base range + (25% bonus at least) unless you guys are really inactive and not closing on anything. 

I work for a developer now and have a little over 2 years of experience and came from a capital markets brokerage group. I was able to leverage my pay in my previous role to get where I am now but I'm at 90k + 40% bonus target and my hours are probably similar to yours with a rare occasion of a crazy week that I get blown out.

CEL's Annual RE Salary Survey is what you want to read.

While it may not have data broken out for a family office environment it will certainly give you the flavor of what your peers in development are earning at your level which is a very helpful gauge for understanding your value bracket in the job market. I suggest frequently checking the CEL website to ensure your not languishing comp wise. Sometimes you need to make a move.
